Build 'a href' link from XML using XSL

[MaKSiNG]

I have an XML file as follows:

<record>
<item name="c_link">
<value>
<item name="link_linktext">
<value>Details</value>
</item>
<item name="link_linktarget">
<value>

http://www.tek-tips.com/

</value>
</item>
<item name="link_linktype">
<value>_self</value>
</item>
</value>
</item>
</record>

Bearing in mind there may be a number of these @name='c_link' groupings. The XSL I have is:

<xsl:for-each select="record/item/value/item">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name='link_linktarget'"/>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="target">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name='link_linktype'"/>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

Is this anywhere near correct as a start? How do I incorporate the @name='link_linktext' as the displayed clickable link?

On the xml you posted:

<xsl:for-each select="record/item[@name='c_link']">
  <xsl:element name="a">

    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="value/item[@name='link_linktarget']/value" />
    </xsl:attribute>

    <xsl:attribute name="target">
      <xsl:value-of select="value/item[@name='link_linktype']/value" />
    </xsl:attribute>

    <xsl:value-of select="value/item[@name='link_linktext']/value" />

  </xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

However, you could make it a lot simpeler like this:

<record>
   <item name="c_link">
      <linktext>Details</linktext>
      <linktarget>[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com/</linktarget>[/URL]
      <linktype>_self</linktype>
   </item>
</record>

<xsl:for-each select="record/item[@name='c_link']">
  <xsl:element name="a">

    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="linktarget" />
    </xsl:attribute>
    
    <xsl:attribute name="target">
      <xsl:value-of select="linktype" />
    </xsl:attribute>

    <xsl:value-of select="linktext" />

  </xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
